Paths we walk

Early in life so much

Potential

With life’s questions swirling

Head so full of “what if’s” and

“I could do that, even this”

Not having the foresight,

To see the forks strewn about.

Paths to nowhere, trails to

Everywhere.

Maybe I did see them

And just payed them no mind.

Just blindly i ran, while the

Walk sign flashed

Looking back I still can’t

See them, at least the paths

I didn’t take

For whatever reason

I gave myself no choice

The only path to take

Was the only one given

Now on hollow breath

The “I could have’s” in life

Form in the empty parts.

Regrets yes they are

But If you knew no better

At the time of choosing them

Could they even be considered

As such?

Footprints through the mindfield

Show the path

Craters from life’s

Explosions, like polka dots

On a bad shirt have some pattern

Somewhere.

Times where good

As times where bad

But they where

All the time real

Soon eyes will shut

Will only see one path

Tired and weary

This soul of mine

So glad for

The paths I took because

We now take them together

I love her with all my heart

She knows it to be true

She has walked her paths

Littered with craters too

Now hand in hand

We can walk together

Steer each other away from

Those paths

That would bring us to

A fork in our road

We have been split before

Right after creation

Thrown to the universe

Left to wander

1 became 2

And now 1 again

I will gladly walk this path

But only with you

Because you are the 1

And I am the 2.
